We are free to set the standards we want for ourselves in life. Whether you want to stoop low or raise the bar high, it's your choice. However, the thing about standards is that they also depend on factors like discipline and money.
You need to be disciplined if you want to have high standards. Discipline helps you build a good reputation and name for yourself. What you do and say all depend on how disciplined you are. The more disciplined you are, the higher your standards. When you are disciplined, you set goals, work hard towards them, and become successful.
When you are successful, you are able to have the standards you want. You have enough money to buy what you want, do what you want, and go where you want. Here are standard quotes that will guide you in setting standards in your life, if haven't already. If you have, you will certainly be able to relate.
